Landscape in cloudy weather

[francongphotography]

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will try to focus on the subject rather than the uninteresting cloudy sky, or use filters when necessary. Maybe one day i will touch on that HDR kinda thing. Anyways, I took these photos a couple days ago and it was really cloudy..I wanna know if these are 'good' shot for a cloudy weather picture? I know my first shot's shaky..Don't have IS with my lens..and didn't use my tripod (my velbon tripod takes forever to set up and I was in a hurry to go to a tutor session, and yes I try to take pictures whenever i can even in a tight schedule) I should have used a tripod for a sharp photo..but other than that, please criticize my photos..hopefully I will learn a thing or two from you pros and senior photographers

Hi Franco and welcome. +1 on the great composition for these. For me, the first one needs the exposure boosted a bit....the second on works well as a silhouette.

Shot on Burnaby mountain, right? Yes, a tripod would've been a benefit but kinda cumbersome carrying your tripod while running to class I imagine. Is there a way to strap it to the side of your back pack? Good luck with the tutoring.

Cheers,
